Highlights
The self-powered gateway for remote sites
Multi-protocol
Supports several industrial wireless protocols so it fits into your existing infrastructure.
Redundancy
LoRaWAN and LTE: a backup communication path keeps data flowing without interruption.
Rugged and reliable
An IP68 UV-resistant polycarbonate enclosure, built for the most demanding industrial environments.
Description
The MSU-SG7 in detail
Always on, the MSU-SG7 gateway continuously listens to the master and slave units on your LoRa network, with no limit on the number of nodes, then forwards the data to the monitoring platform.
Its 200 × 200 × 45 mm IP68 enclosure mounts on a wall or a pole. Configuration and diagnostics are handled over NFC, directly in the field.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about the MSU-SG7
Answers to the most common questions before choosing this device.
Does the MSU-SG7 work without a mains connection?
Yes. Its built-in solar panel recharges a battery, which makes it suitable for remote, off-grid sites. It can also be powered over PoE or 12 V.
What is the range of the MSU-SG7?
From 5 to 10 km over LoRaWAN, depending on the environment: terrain, obstacles and mounting height all affect the actual range.
How many sensors can one MSU-SG7 gateway collect?
The gateway collects master and slave units over LoRa, with no limit on the number of nodes.
What is the difference between the MSU-SG7 and the MSU-G7?
Both gateways share the same functions and the same 200 × 200 × 45 mm IP68 enclosure. The MSU-SG7 adds solar charging, while the MSU-G7 is powered over PoE or 12 V.
